Things are starting to fall apart. In the driver's area a cover fell off some wiring, the seats are not wearing well at all.

First Subaru 7 months in

Overall, I'm really impressed with the car. It's fun to drive and Iove it being so versatile. A lot has been written about the poor acceleration. It's not the fastest car I've ever owned, but if you use the CVT like you're supposed to, you can really do just fine. The gas mileage is incredible. I don't drive a lot each day for work and I'm filling up about once a month. The thing gets like 400-450 per tank, it's insane! I've driven it through about 4 big snow storms this year in denver and am extremely impressed. I haven't slid even once. I don't even know what the traction control light even looks like, it never comes on! As long as they plow, you're fine in this car. I also love how secure and safe it feels in regular conditions. My two negatives are the seat quality on the premium. I have a buddy who has the sport premium (same model) and his seats seem much better. Mine stain easy and even with a treatment of scotch guard, they still already look worn 7 months in. I'm planning on getting new ones as I want to drive this thing forever. The other downside to the car is it's entertainment system. It's awkward at best. I usually just use the bluetooth to make calls and listen to music. It works fine for that. If you try to get fancy and use voice assist or siri, that's when you get into trouble. It doesn't really integrate well besides the basic call and music features with my iphone 6. It can just cut out and rarely recognizes what you're trying to do. I just bought a wiz mount for my phone so it stays up n the dash nicely. I don't use much else on the entertainment system. The speakers sound ok but it took me awhile to get the EQ the way I wanted it. I think for most people the system is fine. After I pay the thing off, I'll probably get something better.

I bought my Subi in October of 2018 with 42,000 miles on it. Currently in September 2021 I am at 131,000 miles. I have to say overall my Impreza has maintained great reliability. I dropped a star in my review for two reasons. First issue is the Touch Stereo with Nav and standard speakers just aren’t that great with functionality or sound output. The second reason is the cost to own. The value from what I paid dropped so hard so quickly and the Maintenance while very important is quite expensive. This car drives in Maine winters better than anything I’ve owned. The only struggle I’ve had in snow is when the snows way higher than ground clearance of the car. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting a safe and reliable smaller car. I love my Impreza and look forward to many more miles with it.

2015 Subaru Impreza Sport Ltd. hatchback (wagon) with 145K miles and still runs like new. Reliable, low-maintenance and versatile with built-in safety features that really work to help avoid accidents. Excellent rear legroom and cargo space for your Costco and Target runs! So much more car for the money, HIGHLY recommend Subaru.

This is primarily my wife's car and I couldn't be happier, and feel more secure about her safety. We live in the Sierra's and the AWD came in handy the day after we brought it home (snow). We didn't get any deluxe edition, but it still seems luxurious and comfortable. Our dealer, Sangera Subaru in Bakersfield made the buying experience easy and readily negotiated the final price. Our next car (mine!) will be a Subaru...can you say Outback?

Great Car, but not the Perfect Car

Bought this for my wife. It was her dream car. Got a Sport Hatch in Quartz Blue. Gorgeous car, fun to drive, excellent paddle sifters, great fuel economy, and great ride comfort. Very reliable, have never had any problems with it. Only a few downsides: -It sits sooooooo low. Really wish I had bought a CrossTrek to overcome that. The front bumper rubs on slight grade changes.... -Road noise is horrible. Especially when on a rough surfaces. -The multimedia center is atrocious. Slow to respond and the ability to utilize all features for an iPhone mean that a USB cord has to be used instead of Bluetooth. -The air-conditioning adjustments are hard to read. The little tiny line marking where it is pointing is hard to find during the day (at night it is lit up). Fuel Mileage Thus Far: Average 29.19 Highest 40.67 Lowest 23.99 After knowing these things, we wish we would have bought a CrossTrek, but we will stick with this so we don't get eaten alive by depreciation. A great car, just a few annoyances.

UPDATE 12/28/17 Now have 19000 on her. No probs at all. I'll buy another; probably in 2019. Recommend. UPDATE 06/28/18. Owned 3 years this month. Have only 23000 miles. Virtually no issues or problems. I won't be buying a new one since this one is like new. I added a front stress bar some time back and it makes cornering quite a bit better and side winds don't affect the car at all. Get 33 - 34 mpg. Use syn oils as I have for 30 years. I'll be changing the oil only once a year since only the CVT is covered (until 100,000 miles).

I've always preferred a manual shift and for the last 15 years have only had automatics. Every manufacturer has a slightly different feel to their standard transmission, so it took a little getting used to, but after a couple of weeks it was feeling totally normal. It has good acceleration in the lower gears, and not too bad even in 5th gear uphill. No problems; solid feeling and reliable, and nice and sporty. Being small at 5'0", I do find I like to use a pillow to make the bucket seat fit me better, and the seatbelt mostly stays in the right place on the lowest setting, only occasionally catching me against the neck. The front seat slides forward more than far enough, which is a nice change!

Weekend car, turned fun!

Needed an inexpensive car that I could drive on the weekend (I have a company truck that I drive during the week). Something reliable, fun, good in the snow and good on gas. My options were slim but since my dad was always a Subaru fan, I decided to give it a try. I walked into the dealer and told him exactly what I wanted; A baseline Impreza hatchback, with a manual transmission. Wouldn't you know, the closest one meeting my specs was still on a boat in the Atlantic (he had tons on CVT's on the lot, but not my thing). I put money down on the car, site unseen (or driven). When it arrived and I took it for its first spin, I was impressed. The price of the car came in just below $20k, and you cannot beat what you get for that money in this car. Albeit, it is no WRX, but it is zippy and handles great. The AWD is amazing, it hugs the road when it is dry and pushes you through the snow in the winter. I believe the manual is the way to go with this car, it really makes it a lot more fun to drive. My only issues with the car: The touch screen entertainment system is slow in my opinion. I push a button and it takes a second to decide what it wants to do. Many times it has gotten stuck in a certain part of the menu when trying to change settings. The car is low to the ground, like lower than I thought it would be. I have bottomed it out a few times on some dirt roads and when carrying a lot of cargo. I am also 6'1, which makes climbing in and out of it a real treat (and funny for my friends to watch). It seems the A/C does not blow as cold as it should. I find myself turning it all the way up just to cool the car off.

It Should Have Been A Great Car

A long throw shift lever makes shifting gears kind of a chore. This year has a long throw shift and it should have had a short throw. Maybe better if you are tall with long arms. But the previous year had a short throw stick and I think it was better. It's a good to great car for just driving around town. Out on the highway , over 65, it loses road feel. You are kind of floating and I was unhappy with that. I drove a lot slower than I would normally. Probably everything was all right but I was very disturbed that I couldn't really feel what the car was doing on the road. I believe road feel is a safety factor.
